“Abigail was wonderful to work with! She did a drop-in visit for my cat, and was extremely thorough and took so much care with my beloved kitty! I would definitely book with her again.”
About: I've taken care of multiple friends' dogs for 5 years for them to enjoy trips. I have become the trusted source for them to have less stress on trips knowing their dogs got to stay home and be loved on. My job is very flexible during the day so I can come & go as I need to check in on your dog & then at night be there for snuggles and more walks. I don't prefer pets in my home as it is smaller but at your home I treat it like my own. I aim to make the place look as good, or better than I found it. I will treat your dog how you request whether that's 10 pages of notes or a few simple things. I want your dog to feel like y'all never left but got a new friend instead.

About: I have pet sit for both friends and family for extended periods of time. Being responsible for care such as feeding, cleaning up after, and walking. I get done with work at 2 everyday so I am available for afternoon visits. I also have weekends and occasional wednesdays off so I can spend more time with the animals on those days. I make sure to follow owners directions exactly as written. And take care for animals how I would want my own animals to be cared for.
